32 step (with a portion with gate bus 1 load on), three oscillators, three EGs, 2040 clone, Triple Wilson SVVCF, Late MS-20 with wave multiplier for the occasional sproing. There is range switch manipulation. One take in vintage mono.

I don't have the specifics on the patches, but one VCO was A, one was B, and one was A+B. Two oscillators were fed to the 2040 clone, then through the SVVCF. The other was fed through the late MS20 filter, triangle through wave multiplier. TH UD-1 is kick and TH MPS is the other drum. No Dim C or reverb, echo.

This forum needs more music. As the great Sun Ra once said "This spaceship runs on music"- quite right!

Hear, hear!

Here are a few more from the last couple of weeks or so.

Harmonic_1 was recorded a little while after "manic_man". It uses the same elements, and essentially the same patch as manic_man, but it's also run through the Dim C and the Lexicon MX200 delay and reverb. This was a tricky one to record - I had one voice coming from the Late MS-20 Filter Clone, and I would switch it from low pass to high pass while at the same time flipping the Klee range switch so one "voice" (low pass) would play the passage (hell, the whole sequence) higher and the other "voice" (high pass) would play the passage lower. This was a rough cut that I was going to go back and re-record, but I got sidetracked with some other experimentation and messed up the patch.

The last three were recorded using a method I used to record the whole first series of Klee samples back in the days when it was just starting to take shape. Back then, the Klee was a bit different - I had an input that would accept a CV and mix that with any of the outputs. This is a feature found on many sequencers, and I planned to include it with the Klee, but it was cut because the thing was just getting out of hand as it was. The nice thing about it, though, was that the glide would affect the keyboard CV as well as the Klee CV (because they were mixed together).

Anyway, with these samples I used the CV from my keyboard to control just one of the voices. That same voice was also controlled by an output of the Klee (my VCOs have two V/Oct inputs),so basically I could control a sequence up and down with the keyboard. This voice, in all three samples, was a VCO3 sawtooth through the dual MS-20 Filter (I didn't use the Wave Multiplier in these three samples).

BTW, that new CV module by Yusynth (Yves Yusson) would be an extremely powerful tool when approaching the Klee in this manner. The possibilities of that thing are, to me, quite exciting.

All of these samples use TH UD-1 Bass drum and TH MPS Percussion,and the same elements as manic-man and the sample above. Key2 and Sereneklee just used the A and B outputs to control the VCOS. I recorded them last week, with "Sereneklee" being recorded just this Sunday. All of them were run through the Dim C, with delay/reverb. So all of the samples of this post are in stereo, through benefit of the Dim C. No overdubs blah blah.

Edit: I should mention, the Klee voice that was also controlled by the keyboard: I had the trigger output trigger its EG, and the gate output of the keyboard control the EG as well, so holding a key on the keyboard would "open" up the part, and not pressing the key made it more staccato._________________My Site

Those are great tunes. I really enjoy the melodies that you come up with. My fav is, "sereneklee". Beautiful sounds. Very serene indeed. Happy music. Uplifting, and healing. Its going on the ipod. Im inspired now, gotta warm up the Klee._________________Check out my music

Very nice free-form stuff! Both of these give me the impression of a sort of electro-jazz jam by guys in tuxedos taking place in a clearing in some jungle. I don't know why, but the drummer is wearing sunglasses and has a cigarette hanging out of the corner of his mouth.

The timbres you're getting off the synth and drums really fit together well, too! What VCOs/filters and drums did you use for these pieces?

TAP - missed the question about my CD. It's round and shiny and totally empty at this time _________________My Site

He he. "electro-jazz jam" I like that! I want to be at that jungle party. Lets see, I used three TH xr2206 VCO's, I had one of the VCO's patched into one of the other VCO's synch input. A Digisound CEM3320 LPF, two MOTM EG's, and a VCA-1. For the drums I used an 808 kick, and snare, and the Cynare. I also used the Space Echo, Mackie mixer, some lexicon reverb, and a bit of post processing in Sound forge with some waves plugins._________________Check out my music

Somewhat like sculpting with very loose clay . Nice patching on that sample. It sounds like you put a good bit of work into building up your voices.

I've found the external load input very useful. I connect the main clock (or master gate) to a 4040 binary counter to divide the clock frequency. Then I use one of the 4040 outputs (converted to a trigger pulse) to load a new pattern.

Y'know, this is something I've been itching to try, and never have. Cool! I think it should load even if you don't convert it to a trigger pulse. I think anyway....

I don't think it really matters that much. It's fine as it is

Thank you Tom. When I get something to the level of "Rocket Summer", I'll start putting stuff on disk.
